Could the U.S. Federal Reserve Create Inflation Sending Gold to over $3,000.00?

The Fed’s long term plan is to continually create inflation, and there will come a point at which inflation will reach run-away proportions. Jim says that just regular inflation could take gold to $3,000 or more.

Could There Be a Return to the Gold Standard?

As far as the future price of gold is concerned, Jim believes that one day we will return to a gold standard worldwide. He estimates that gold would need to be about $9,000 per ounce to support the trade and finance that we already have going on in the world today.
